I'm looking at a stock screener report that shows a bunch of the inverse ETFs with significant price increases over the past 12 months, but the total return is noted as negative or near 0. Is something happening under the hood of these inverse ETFs that is not readily apparent?

You should test this in a walk-forward simulation. Start 40 years ago, select parameters for entire portfolio, throw out worst markets, walk forward a year or 5, rinse & repeat. I did this not too long ago and unfortunately, my conclusion was that past market performance is not indicative of future ...

I just got smoked in this contract, waiting too long to roll. Went from a 2.5R profit to nearly 0 in two sessions. If I would have rolled into a distant contract a couple days ago this wouldnt have happened. No more #$%%^$ azuki beans for me!

Anyone trading this? OI & volume seems to have declined quite a bit over the past few months. I need to roll out of September but not sure which month to go to or maybe just take it out of the portfolio...

Does anybody have this in their portfolio? I have a BPV of 3000 per CSIs specs, but my current P/L looks like BPV should be 10000. Which means I am sitting on 3x the size I should be. And on a loss of course.
